Two routes were investigated. One running the length of
Beaconsfield Parade to St Kilda from Port Melbourne. The second
route would connect with the 112 tram at Mills Street in Albert
Park.

The study was commissioned by the council in partnership with
Tourism Victoria, the Department of Infrastructure and Yarra
Trams.

President of the Fitzroy Street Business Association Roger
Wyndham supported the proposed tram and said it would help
alleviate local road congestion and parking problems.

Mr Wyndham said the foreshore was an under utilised area of the
city. "(It has) the ability for Melbourne people to experience the
whole of Port Phillip Bay ... it's an enormous physical attribute
and it would improve access to the area, particularly in the summer
months."

A State Government spokesman said the idea was in the early
stages of development and more work would need to be completed
before a final decision could be made.

"The Government would await the outcome of that work before
making any decision about the project," he said.
